Abstract
A lattice-Boltzmann method has been developed to simulate suspensions of both
spherical and non-spherical particles in finite-Reynolds-number flows. The results for
sedimentation of a single elliptical particle are shown to be in excellent agreement with
the results of Huang, Hu & Joseph (1998) who used a finite-element method. Sedimentation
of two-dimensional circular and rectangular particles in a two-dimensional
channel and three-dimensional spherical particles in a tube with square cross-section
is simulated. Computational results are consistent with experimentally observed phenomena,
such as drafting, kissing and tumbling.
